Celebrating two 60th birthdays with a superb 60-year-old Colheita port with great colour, depth and sweetness. Caramel and nuts with plenty of fruit. Intensity and length and moving on into dried fruit and almonds with a twist of winter spices and a gorgeous mouthfeel. Wow! Shame we didn't give it a chance to show us how it would have coped after another day or three after opening.

Disappointing for its pedigree - nothing to make me want to buy more. The wine woke up after half an hour in a glass and with food but definitely don’t decant. Haven’t decided whether or not I like it but on balance the disappointment took away any significant pleasure.

Dirt dry mineral Chablis with good acidity - perhaps a couple of years more to peak. Went very nicely with our herby Sea Bass
